Samsung just announced its LPDDR3 SDRAM, the next-generation low-power-consumption mobile memory chip. The company states that this DRAM will be the mainstream memory used in smartphones later this year. With Android phones getting more advanced, manufacturers are starting to push their user interface overlays further, requiring more memory in the process. […]
Samsung Mobile USA released a video on YouTube today of the Galaxy Note which focuses on it’s S Pen functionality (don’t call it a stylus). This ad does a better job at showing what the Galaxy Note can do than Samsung’s earlier Superbowl commercial. The ad states that the Galaxy Note is “the best of a smartphone… and [...] Visit […]

From what I hear, last year’s Android booth at Mobile World Congress was the hit.

There’s a reason why T-Mobile is referred to as “scrappy”.

Companies such as Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communi […]

This game came out of no where! Released just days ago, the app has climbed to #4 in Top Free Apps on Android Market, coming in just after Facebook, Pandora, and Angry Birds.

MWC is on the horizon and Fujitsu doesn’t want you to forget it makes noteworthy devices as well. The Japanese manufacturer looks to present a breakthrough device to the masses by creating what will be a “dust and waterproof” beast. Yes, that’s right– a “dust and waterproof” smartphone. Fujitsu isn’t stopping t […]
Okay so I’ve always felt that the Android development community was on top of their game, but this is insane. Hours, HOURS, after Asus released the bootloader unlock tool for the Transformer Prime developers were able to get Clockwork Recovery and a CyanogenMod 9 build onto the device. This only suggests that the development community [...] Visit TalkA […]
Microsoft Office has been a desktop computer staple for decades, and now it looks like it might finally migrate to modern touchscreen tablets. But does Microsoft's productivity software even belong on a tablet? And if it does make the transition to touch, how will we actually use it?
The California Department of Justice issued a press release Wednesday detailing an agreement among leaders in the mobile space to strengthen user privacy and transparency policies for mobile apps. Apple, Google, HP, Amazon, Microsoft and RIM signed the agreement.

Cramming a desktop environment onto a smartphone is a fun project that promises very little actual usefulness. But now Canonical's Ubuntu for Android takes a different approach, surfacing the desktop OS only when it actually makes sense.
London design firm BERG and New York open hardware shop Adafruit both trade in big and small ideas about the future, but their projects rarely converge. Until now -- with impossibly tiny printers.
We know. You're excited about the iPad 3. We are too. And so is just about everyone else who follows consumer tech hardware. Rumors about Apple's upcoming tablet have been pouring in for months, and we've been following them just like everyone else.
Unlocking a smartphone is perhaps its most basic function. It's a no-frills feature, but an important one. And yet over the past six months, the simple act of unlocking a phone has grown absurdly controversial.
This week on the Gadget Lab podcast, the gang talks about Apple’s latest software announcement, two new Android phones and a set of outdoorsy knives.

Ever since Wired reported high suicide rates at Chinese iPhone manufacturer Foxconn in 2011, the company — and Apple — have been under public pressure to improve pay and working conditions at the factory. On Friday, Foxconn announced pay increases of 16 to 25 percent for its factory workers, with the exact amount tied to [...]
The HTC One S was unofficially confirmed yesterday through the leak of an internal T-Mobile document. The leak exposed a few accessories for three upcoming devices. Though termed the “HTC Ville”, we know that refers to the HTC One S. Early NenaMark2 benchmark results have surfaced for the device, and they sure don’t disappoint. The [...]
LG was rather quick to adopt a dual-core chip architecture in the Optimus 2X, and now they are close to showing off the Tegra 3 quad-core processor in the Optimus 4X HD. From the shot pictured below, it’s obviously running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), and seems to be absent of capitative navigation keys. Oddly, [...]
As MWC nears, more manufacturers are starting to hint at what they have to offer. Joining this bandwagon is ZTE; they plan to release multiple devices next week that incorporate both quad-core processors and 4G LTE. Precisely which 4G LTE network they’ve decided on is still unknown. Executive VP over at ZTE stated that ‘the [...]
This morning, word got out that Fujitsu is planning a 13.1MP phone for MWC. Other rumored specs include a rather large 4.6” display and an NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor. It is projected to run Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), even though three capacitive buttons are present on the only thumbnail we have of the rumored [...]
NVIDIA just released some new information this evening regarding the Tegra 3 quad-core mobile processor. As many of you probably know the Tegra 3 quad-core actually contains five processing cores under the hood — yes 5. In the past we’ve heard the term ninja core, companion core, and a few others but the new official [...]
If you’re a phan of the phablet, odds are pretty good that you’ve got one by now: after months of waiting, AT&T launched their American version of the Samsung Galaxy Note on Sunday. While the Super Bowl ad left a little to be desired as far as showing off the actual device, a new Samsung [...]
Tired of hearing about Android on the desktop? Too bad. Just days after rumors started spreading about a dockable desktop mode in Android 5.0 “Jelly Bean” Patently Apple (which really needs a new name, by the way, since Apple’s “spirit of invention” has devolved into copying then suing absolutely everyone) found patent filings p […]

Dear Asus: please get your disparate public relations teams to talk to one another. Follow along, if you will: way back in 2011, before the Eee Pad Transformer Prime came out, Asus assured the many owners of the original Transformer TF101 that they’d be getting a timely update to Ice Cream Sandwich as well. In January, just [...]
LG opted to officially unveil the LG Optimus Vu 5″ Galaxy Note rival this week, ahead of Mobile World Congress 2012. LG made the Vu official on the 19th complete with a 5″ screen, 4G LTE and that stylus. Today with some nifty music LG is showing off the new Optimus Vu for everyone to [...]
